Nexus 6 won’t be immune to carrier branding

If it weren’t for that big Nexus logo down the back, would you be able to recognize a Nexus phone these days? While the Nexus 6 may be an impressive piece of hardware, it’s strayed quite a bit from the example set by the Nexus 5 and Nexus 4 before it. That means things like higher pricing across the board, whether off-contract or subsidized, and if the Lollipop rollout we’ve been seeing get underway is any indication, we may no longer be able to count on Nexus phones being first in line for Android updates in the future, too. But at least you can count on Nexus phones being clean and unadorned, resistant to carrier meddling, right? Maybe not, as AT&T reveals that its Nexus 6 will sport the carrier’s logo around back.

While AT&T’s consumer page for the Nexus 6 doesn’t fully reveal the handset’s back, an entry on the carrier’s business site depicts the phone from additional angles, and shows an AT&T logo down below the Nexus name.
